Under Baxter's protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Wildly imaginative and exhilaratingly over the top, Poor Things is a bizarre, brilliant tour de force for director Yorgos Lanthimos and star Emma Stone.

      Audience Says

      Poor Things is a weird, wild good time and Emma Stone is fantastic in it -- just be prepared for adult themes that may unsettle or offend some viewers.

      Stef Rubino Autostraddle Rather, it’s an attempt to wake us up, to clue us into the behaviors and violences we replicate over and over again, even when we think we aren’t. And on that front alone, Poor Things is a success. Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) The score is brilliant. It absolutely captures the kind of semi-steam punk, fantastical, mythological, Frankestinian... all that stuff. And yet at the heart of it, there is an emotional story... Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Bella’s appetite for novelty is reflected in film-making that evokes a similar sense of wonder and discovery in the audience. Rated: 5/5 Jan 14, 2024 Full Review Craig D. Lindsey Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Lanthimos and McNamara throw in a hell of a lot in Poor Things. Thankfully, it’s a horny, gorgeous hell of a lot. Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Andrea Thompson A Reel of One's Own Trust Lanthimos to make a film where the cast prepped by going to mortician school. Yet for all the delightful derangement, there's a refreshing lack of resignation... Rated: A- Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip Poor Things is a very funny film, with acute social satire and an anti-romantic comedy premise rendered in gonzo, Gilliam-esque fashion. It’s also deeply cynical, though it justifies its own cynicism in its commitment to the bit. May 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

      Sterling this was unexpectedly one of the best films I’ve ever watched. So original and euphoric. Was it a bit of a fever dream? Yes but that’s exactly what I loved about it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Allison W Loved everything about this movie! My favorite film of 2023! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Smiley "A Clockwork Orange" or "Dr. Strange" were more enjoyable than this. Perhaps some "pseudo intellectual" persons might enjoy discussing the ramifications of this with a local barista and other artsy customers at a local coffeehouse. And if this achieved "best actress" award, then the other nominees must have been real "Caspar Milquetoast" performances. Lastly, Emma Stone looks emaciated. I'm just glad that I viewed this on a "senior special" day ... but the "special" hot dogs made the trip to the theater worthwhile. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Tony J Thought it was great! Interesting, quirky, mysterious, just a fun movie! A little on the long side, but not too bad... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Frana I think the only reason this movie didnt get an X rating is because they dont give it anymore. Lots of sex, nudity & bad language. Its also too long. On the plus side, the acting is wonderful & there are some very funny parts. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review William P beautiful artsy film, 5 stars, I can see why Emma won the Oscars. Very Yorgos auteur style. Go see it. thumbs 👍 up. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
